West Feliciana Hospital

What West Feliciana Hospital does

West Feliciana Hospital (legal name: West Feliciana Parish Hospital) is a rural community acute-care hospital operating under the West Feliciana Hospital Service District Number 1, a public entity chartered under Louisiana law and governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners. The hospital was founded in 1970 and reopened in August 2017 in a new 53,000-square-foot state-of-the-art medical center in St. Francisville, Louisiana, nearly tripling its prior footprint. It is the only hospital in West Feliciana Parish and serves as the primary healthcare destination for residents who would otherwise travel to Baton Rouge. Headcount is in the 251-500 range, with a full C-suite (CEO, CFO, CNO) and roughly 20 directors spanning EMS, imaging, IT, pharmacy, rehab, lab, compliance, and human resources.

The clinical platform spans a 24-hour emergency department with advanced EMS (Mercedes Sprinter ambulance equipped with Glidescope, 12-lead EKG, and 360-degree cameras), inpatient care, advanced imaging (3D mammography via a partnership with Woman's Hospital of Baton Rouge, CT, MRI, ultrasound, X-ray), laboratory and blood bank, outpatient infusion, sleep studies, wound healing, respiratory services, and a behavioral health intensive outpatient program. Outpatient rehabilitation operates from a separate 5,350-square-foot facility with aquatic therapy, and the Cypress Rural Health Clinic provides primary care, pediatrics, behavioral health, and endocrinology. Digital touchpoints include the MyCareCorner mobile patient portal (launched 2022). Community-facing programs include the Jump Start a Heart AED initiative integrated with the PulsePoint Respond App, Paint the Town Pink breast cancer awareness, an annual health fair, and Safe Sitter training.

The business model is a standard U.S. community hospital revenue model: patient care services billed through insurance, Medicare, and Louisiana Medicaid, supplemented by charity care and federal rural healthcare grants. The 2023 acquisition of the Pediatric Clinic (Dr. Pat's practice) signals continued inorganic service-line expansion. The hospital is recognized in the top 25% of U.S. rural hospitals via a 2022 Performance Leadership Award for Excellence in Quality. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; pricing examples for self-pay services include a $99 calcium score screening and a $55 Safe Sitter course. The entity is not venture-backed, has no parent company, and reinvests operating surplus into the district.

• Ochsner Health: Largest Louisiana health system with statewide rural and urban footprint. Comparable general medical/surgical hospital services plus extensive specialty and ambulatory network; competes for the same patient pool across Louisiana parishes.
• Christus Health Louisiana: Multi-state Catholic health system with community hospitals across Louisiana. Comparable rural community-hospital service model, with broader specialty and ambulatory depth.
• Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center: Dominant Louisiana non-profit health system and tertiary referral partner for West Feliciana Hospital.
